You're a terror Pixie! And yes - will watch out for the cake! Same goes for me!

We are delighted to announce that North West based Magician & Freakshow Performer Simon Southerin, will be hosting the performance stage in the Cellar of Sin as well as doing some walkabout acts.

Great stuff, Simon's ace

So.... who is coming along? Myself, Dani California, Glorian Gray and Alexandra Hofgartner will all be there with our antics including a make-shift Victorian Peepshow (do join in!), a stall with info and gifts and whatnot - and of course our availability to chat.

Myself and Dani will also be taking turns on the stage trying out new material in the Movers & Shakers bill. We will also have the pleasure of seeing others perform too - will announce names tomorrow!
